Yeah, I read the post below. The bill clearly states that illegal immigrants aren't covered. NPR had a good piece on this the other day. Excluding the people who think that everything Obama says or writes is untrue, there are a few who have legitimate concerns. Illegal immigrants could still potentially falsify records to receive treatment. Or when they do seek treatment they could either impose costs or be turned away.
I just think that the right-wing has no real solutions to these problems. Close the border. Ha! And the oceans? It isn't to difficult to see the unveiled racism. The new bill may not have tough enforcement provisions or procedures for weeding out illegal immigrants, but what would the right-wing have us do without adding to government bureaucracy (which the also hate)? Maybe just give the doctor a skin tone chart to check if someone is white enough to get treatment? That would exclude many illegals and have the added benefit of excluding legal blacks, hispanics, arabs and indians.
I just love where pro-life ends. After the umbillical cord is cut. Pro-life means that after you are born, others have the right to deny you medical care, sustinance, education, housing, employment, justice, etc. Even if you will die without it. I can't believe this type of hostility to fellow human beings is really a beneficial, adaptive, competitive trait.
